To all,

I think I found the culprit.

Liriomyza huidobrensis (serpentine leafminer).

Good news that I have found the culprit, but seems like they are very resistant to insecticides. The sticky yellow traps and constant lavae management seem to be the most commonly suggested solutions, but the following chemicals were suggested:

abamectins, neem and spinosad

I think I might try the Spinosad or Neem route first, as I couldn't find much in the way of abamectins pesticide.

Thanks,
Simon.
